    Is it really true that Windows 10 Home does not allow you to encrypt a Zip file???


    Please tell me this isn't true. Any workarounds apart from downloading a 3rd party app?

    :)

    Then i am sorry to say you will not be able to open that encrypted zip file.

    You need a key in order to open it.

    Hi davencrabtree,

    Do you have the password for the zip file, or are you trying to crack the password?

    If you do not have the password, it can take a huge time to crack the password from an encrypted zip file

    May I ask is this zip file downloaded form the net and if so, did the website not provide the password for that zip file beside the download link - they usually do!
